I might out myself as a complete ignorant in terms of libraries, but
this seems to me only a half-solution. Why is the recompile necessary?
Do you think that the build environment was screwed up - then how do we
know that the autobuilder is set up correctly now, to prevent the
problem reoccuring?
Or was there an undetected ABI change - shouldn't the library get a new
soname then?
